When we’d advise against a repair
In fairness, some problems need a different fix:
- Leaking taps or wastes (a plumber’s job)
- Crazing all over, which suits resurfacing
- A loose basin, until it’s refixed
If in doubt, send pictures and we’ll say what we think.
Surfaces we repair
- Belfast and butler sinks
- Enamelled basins
- Ceramic & vitreous china basins
- Vanity unit basins
- Antique & period basins
Repairing versus replacing in Aveley
A new basin may mean new taps, a new waste and new tiling, and if it’s part of a suite, it may not match. A repair avoids all of that. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. A repair is priced on what needs doing, not your postcode. The full price is agreed before booking, with no extras added later.

How to care for the repair
Much of the damage we repair could have been avoided. A few tips:
- Steer clear of harsh chemicals
- Clean with a soft cloth and mild detergent
- Keep straighteners away from the basin
- Have new chips repaired quickly
Do not rest hot hair tools or heavy bottles on the rim, to avoid new chips.
Chips near the waste or taps can let water in, which can stain the repair area. Repairing it early keeps the job small.
What we’re called out for in Aveley
Fine crazing in the glaze is usually down to age, and strong chemicals speed it up.
If you can see any of these, send us a photo:
- Chips from dropped toiletries
- A period basin that needs restoring
- A chipped vanity basin
- Cracks starting at the waste

Work for landlords and builders
We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Aveley as well as homeowners. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it generally costs far less than a refit.
We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which is easier on the people living there.
Repairs by material
Period and antique
Older basins may have crazing, chips and makers’ marks. We repair them sympathetically.
Composite and resin
Cast mineral and resin basins are common in vanity units. Chips and scratches can be filled and matched, with colour mixed on site.
Aveley: your questions answered
What does sink repair cost?
Repairs from £95. The exact price depends on the damage, so we quote from pictures. You will get a fixed figure before booking.
What do you need from me?
Some photos, your postcode and how to reach you. On the day, we only need access to the room.
I’m a tenant. Can you help?
Yes, but check with your landlord or agent first. Landlords are often glad to have it sorted.
Can you do more than one item on the same visit?
Yes. Combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down. Send pictures of everything you’d like done.
Can you quote from pictures?
Yes, almost always. Clear photos let us give you a fixed quote without visiting.
Is a chipped basin repairable?
Yes, very often. We shape and polish it to match the glaze.
Can you repair an antique basin?
Yes, carefully. Period basins are worth keeping, and we repair them sympathetically.
Is a repair better than a new one?
Usually, when the rest is in good condition. A repair avoids removal and making good. If replacing would be better, we’ll say so.
What we do, step by step
You do not need to empty the room. We bring everything we need with us, lay protective sheets and get going once we have agreed what we are doing. It normally takes a morning or an afternoon, and you can get on with other things while we’re there.
- We check the basin is secure and not leaking.
- The area is degreased and keyed.
- We build up the filler and sand it flush.
- Colour and gloss are matched.
- We clear away and tell you when it can be used.
Getting ready for the visit
- Let us know if it has been repaired before
- Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
- Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
Ask for a price
There is no need for us to visit first. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed price.
